A few years ago I met Dweezil Zappa after a gig in London. When faced with what to ask him I panicked. Instead of asking him about any of the 60 albums worth of music his father recorded, I said "If they remake The Running Man, will you be in it?". He looked confused, smiled and said no.
Some big movies 🍿 have been made in the toon 🤣 every time I watch World War Z & see zombies running all around George Sq! 🤣 hope you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
I did thanks - nice to see that another 1980s remake being done and to see it being done there ! I remember the WWZ was made there - change the street signs and drive-in a load of US spec cars and there you go NYC, etc you got it !!!!
I've not been this excited for a film in a long time. Lets hope they don't mess it up. The original Running Man was dumb 1980s fun with alot to say. Hopefully this is more like the book in terms of realism.
To be fair, I’ve not read the book 📖 I did enjoy the 80s Arnie one for pure popcorn 🍿 movie! This one does seem more serious & probably more in line with the book 👍🏻 glad you enjoyed my video & thanks for watching.
@@sarahghav Gd to hear, how long you filming in Glasgow for??? read it is shut for 2 weeks though, or is that subject to change?? I'm in the Kent part of England 🙂
most big films are shot in the UK these days, either on location or at the studios, also British film directors like Edgar Wright like to shoot their movies in the UK, and of course there are tax incentives for making movies in the UK. Glasgow is a city that can very easily be dressed as a US location.... a few US style fire hydrants, some US traffic lights, and fill the streets with appropriate vehicles and your done, thats all it takes.
There are goverment tax breaks given to filmmakers to film in the UK, same as South Africa & Canada. There are no such tax breaks to film in the USA 🤯 The UK film industry is pretty big business (Many studios in Scotland & England) & there are many films shot there such as Deadpool & Wolverine. They film in Glasgow because the architecture & brickwork buildings are very similar to those that shaped NYC & can be dressed appropriately. Also Glasgow's grid system is based on grid systems found in the USA & Spain. World War Z, The Flash, Indiana Jones, The Batman, BatGirl & now The Running Man are all films that have shot in & around Glasgow pretending to be US cities
Years ago Glasgow City Council told Hollywood that they can film their movies here for free. It helps with tourism and stuff like that. Our streets have been changed into American streets a few times with American cars driving around, it's pretty cool. It costs thousands of dollars a day to film in LA or NY so they come here and do it for free. We are very accommodating.
The scum known as 'government ' profit from it and they get free travel to the location via the charitable Royal National Lifeboat Institution if they bring just one illegal migrant.
@@makeitsonumberone1358Almost every big city in the Western World is blighted by drugs… it’s the World we live in and it’s money driven hence I said Western World…
Omg why are they remaking this film? After the fantastic films terminator commando and predator I remember as a little kid in the late 80s I was looking forward to the running man but was really disappointed in it I thought it was one of schwarzeneggers weakest films. This will probably be as bad as the total recall remake
Love those old Aston Martins! As for the film, you’d think they would’ve learned their lesson from the Total Recall abomination a few years ago. We don’t need to remake every Arnold movie.🤦🏻♂️
This film is based on the original Stephen King book...unlike the campy yet entertaining Arnold version which flagrantly deviated from the source material.
@@Joe-dh6co Now I can't agree that the original "The Running Man" was "pish poor" but I can agree & confirm that this is another adaptation & not a remake. Edgar Wright said at Cinemacon that it would be based on the material found in Stephen King's original book & not the 80s Arnie version
If you are referring to the 1987 classic then I have to tell you that you are wrong. That film still holds up well today and does convey a lot of the themes from the book.
It looks bad, the characters, actors, who are they? Just a money, grab. i won’t be watching it, all these remakes, there’s been soo many past years it’s ridiculous. Not one remake has been worth seeing or has been good
You need a post-apocalyptic hellhole without spending a penny? Glasgow's the place.
Hey don't be so rude lol.
I think Birmingham is worse and London.
Glasgow is a beautiful city with beautiful cathedrals and buildings that are over 300 years old. They film here because it's cheaper.
I think you mean Detroit
Northeast England may have been more appropriate imho
a hope they're getting the ULEZ charge like the rest of us
lol
Oh nice one, looks a kinda future retro vibe. Glasgow is perfect for all of that
Yeah, think it’s supposed to be a dystopian type vibe. Thanks for watching 🙂👍🏻

@@krashd lol how random
@@krashd He had a small role as part of the resistance.
Great video, hope movie will be good
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
1:43 The guy with the hat is carrying Nunchucks! Lets hope for some 80s style martial arts in the movie somewhere! Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Well Glasgow nowadays does resemble some archaic dystopian nightmare tbh. 🫣
Is Starsky directing? 😊
Never beat the swarzenneger version.
It 100% will
@@buzz9879 No, no it won't. Are yiu serious ?
@@Nunyabuisness80Arnold is the only running man. His comedy is unmatched
I think Glen Powell will do a good job, but Schwarzenegger was on a different level
@@Nunyabuisness80 yes I trust Edgar Wright completely and the behind the scenes look just like the book
Im 15 minutes from this and had no idea lol.
Not the first time Glasgow has been used for film sets for American cities ….
Some big movies 🍿 have been made in the toon 🤣 every time I watch World War Z & see zombies running all around George Sq! 🤣 hope you enjoyed the video 👍🏻

Indiana Jones
I missed that one being filmed 😞
The Batman too.
Glasgow is Gotham.
Any behind the scenes on Katy O'Brian's role?
Who is that actress 5:30?
Do the have any walking parts in the Running Man for the weight challenged?
You won’t beat the original, can already tell it will be mince
Glen Powell is not Arnold
Original is crap 🤮
Except it's not really trying to beat the original and is instead attempting to be accurate to the book.
@@The_Algae they made sequel instead of remake
Glen Powell would be Arnold Running man son
@@CulinaryJoey Nope. That's misinformation.
As Edgar Wright is directing I'm hopeful this will be good.
I do like his movies too 👍🏻🙂
Baby Driver was actually pretty great
I was walking past all this the other day, it's just next to my work building
Killian,I'll be back 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They already fucked up the Total Recall remake and it looks like they are going to do the same with this
I've not been this excited for a film in a long time. Lets hope they don't mess it up. The original Running Man was dumb 1980s fun with alot to say. Hopefully this is more like the book in terms of realism.

That’s me in the brown fluffy coat 😂
You all must have been freezing! 🤣 You guys did a great job 👍🏻 good luck for the rest of the production.
It wasn’t too bad haha! Thank you🙏🏽
@@sarahghav Gd to hear, how long you filming in Glasgow for???

@sarahghav were u an extra ? Av defoz seen u somewere before am from hamilton
My Daughter is studying Film at Glasgow Uni.How do you get into being a part of these things?Thanks.
Is this anything to do with the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of the same name
Yes. It’s the remake. More in line with the novel, I’m told 🙂
No, it's a biopic on Usain Bolt when he visited Glasgow. 🙄
Anyone know which street they’re using here ?
It was Bothwell St 👍🏻
@ Thanks 👍🏼
Good luck with it but tbh can't see it beating original
I think it’s meant to be following the novel more closely 🙂 thanks for watching 👍🏻
The original is now horribly dated and cheap looking.
7:11 Looks good already
Is he playing Ben Richards?
Yes 🙂
@@scottishjourneys different version then 🫣
Yes he is
Looks awful
Brad Pitt filmed some of world war z in Glasgow
Ooh, are those dowdy looking cars to the left Aston Martin Lagondas? Never seen one in real life. Must be worth a few quid.
I wonder how you become a smoke-wafter? 6:21
thanks for this 🙏🏻❤️
You're welcome 😊 glad you enjoyed it.
So that’s why you could see their breath, it was in Scotland not LA.
🤣 it was cold
Anyone know why they go to Glasgow is it cheaper than the states or something

Tax credits usually.
The UK is cheaper to film in and Glasgow specifically has a block-style street layout like most major US cities.
the running man is one of my favourite swarzenneger films. good to see Hollywood coming over here in Glasgow. WELCOME
5:45 I seen Vonny Moyes is still worming her way into things.
She's not allowed to walk through the toon?
Any one know why the come to Glasgow ? Is it cheaper than the states or something

No, Hollywood films are not free to film in Glasgow, but there are some incentives available to help with the process.
Yeah you can get a deep fried pizza or a Mars bar and then get a stabbing 😂
The scum known as 'government ' profit from it and they get free travel to the location via the charitable Royal National Lifeboat Institution if they bring just one illegal migrant.
Proud that my city can host you on making your movies. You are always welcome.
Just excuse the drugs ans the trash
@@makeitsonumberone1358Almost every big city in the Western World is blighted by drugs… it’s the World we live in and it’s money driven hence I said Western World…
Omg whats KITT doing there??
You look pissed Ben
They've been filming movies now since World war Z with Brad Pitt back in 2011 in Glasgow Scotland must be a cheap deal
Two running Aston Martin Lagondas? Now I know this is fiction.
Keeping it more in line with the book. Good director behind it.
Glen seriously could not use his own hair for this film?
How much are the people of Glasgow getting for this..
Anouther remake we didnt want or ask for 🙄
Another comment we didn’t want or ask for 🙄
Where is arnie cant see him 😂
🤣🤣🤣

that wig !
A lot of standing about in filming no wonder they cost a fortune to make !
Yeah, a lot of standing about! It was cold 🥶 too 🤣 the cast & crew did a great job.
More standing around when they are actually filming too as you cant move or talk.
🔥🔥🔥
Most anticipated movie of 2025
Glasgow very similar to American cities with the grid system. Why not just film it in an American city though?
I think it’s a lot more expensive to film in America, so I’ve been told.
@ yeah it’s got to be down to money
Love those old Aston Martins!
As for the film, you’d think they would’ve learned their lesson from the Total Recall abomination a few years ago.
We don’t need to remake every Arnold movie.🤦🏻♂️
This film is based on the original Stephen King book...unlike the campy yet entertaining Arnold version which flagrantly deviated from the source material.
Hope they keep it true to the book this time
Arnies version was awsome though, an ocasion where the film is better than the book
@@makeitsonumberone1358 I see you like to start drinking early.
@@makeitsonumberone1358 The film is in no way better than the book. The book has a tighter plot, is grittier, and the ending is bleak yet fantastic.
I'll take the vette when their done please and thank you.
Aston Martin Lagonda for me .
2:28 I'll have the Esprit
What the fuck are they going for with this unnecessary remake??
It's not a remake, it's another adapatation, this one hopefully will be closer to the book unlike that pish that was made for Arnie.
@krashd it's a remake
@@Joe-dh6co Now I can't agree that the original "The Running Man" was "pish poor" but I can agree & confirm that this is another adaptation & not a remake. Edgar Wright said at Cinemacon that it would be based on the material found in Stephen King's original book & not the 80s Arnie version
@fleason771 remake
Standing around on set looks incredibly boring
Should be a really good movie .edgar Wright director...the running man. stephen king book adaption...close to book not the arnie film
All they are doing is ruining the memories of a great 80’s film just like remaking total recall
Hahahahhahhahaha the original is garbage !
Well seeing as the original Total Recall and The Running Man ruined the memories of anyone who had read the books this is only fair, no?
I just hope that the story follows the book, rather than the atrocity they made the first time.
That was good big Arnie was class lol
If you are referring to the 1987 classic then I have to tell you that you are wrong. That film still holds up well today and does convey a lot of the themes from the book.
Well the last 2 films shot in Glasgow hardly went down well with the cinema goers 🙈
Have you been drinking ?
Glen Powell looking more like Tom Cruise
It’s gonna take more than make up and special effects to turn Glasgow into New York 😂
Big Show running the show 😉
It looks bad, the characters, actors, who are they? Just a money, grab. i won’t be watching it, all these remakes, there’s been soo many past years it’s ridiculous. Not one remake has been worth seeing or has been good
It's not a remake, it's an adaptation, it would only be a remake if the original Running Man wasn't a piss poor movie stolen from a book.
Looks worse than the new joker film
@@user-is2kj1bm9h Nothing could be worse than that or the new Batman film
Will Glasgow city council use the money there getting from this movie to fill in the pot holes or resurface the damn roads in Glasgow!!!!
Oh dear god another classic ruined. Glasgow most be poor letting Hollywood in.
Glen Powell ..no charisma. He's no Arnold . .. guaranteed flop.
Guaranteed to be a flop . Can't top Arnold ..
A talking shoe could top Arnold...
